"He's the perfect age, so versatile, and talented and dynamic. You know it's hard for me to even imagine anybody that I think would be more perfectly suited."

Luckily, the feeling seems to be mutual. Speaking at this week's High School Musical 3 premiere, Zac admitted to Newsbeat that it was an idea that is "coming together".

He said: "I'll always be open to more musicals. I think they're fun and I think it's our responsibility as performers to try and keep them alive. I love Footloose - it's a great movie."

Dirty memories

And for fans of Dirty Dancing, Kenny let Newsbeat in on how the feel of the movie came together.

"It was great, because it was just the mountains, and the lake, and we had each other and we had the music and a record player.

"We were playing old 45s and it was just the most creative time and ideas just kind of came flowing."

Kenny Ortega on Dirty Dancing

As for how the unique dancing style came about, Kenny says he'll never forget when he discovered the "secret" of Dirty Dancing.

He said: "It was this wonderful accident that happened one day in rehearsals where we doing this grinding... hips to the left, and grinding our hips to the right, and then one to the left, one to the right and up the middle.

"My partner was going against me, and I said 'no, no, no, you're not supposed to go against me, you're supposed to go with me.'

"She did it again, and still went away from me, and I went 'wait a minute! There's the friction, there's the excitement, there's dirty dancing.'"
